"For me, and for thousands with similar inclinations, the most important passion of life is the overpowering desire to escape periodically from the churches of a mechanistic civilization. To us the enjoyment of solitude, complete independence, and the beauty of undefiled panoramas is absolutely essential to happiness." —Bob Marshall (1901-1939)
